THE DECEMBER CRIMINAL.

SESSIONS.

DEATH SENTENCE.

At the Supreme Court this morning before the Chief Justice, Sir W. M. Goodman, Tsang Tin Kwai and Tsang Chang were indicted on a charge of being concerned in the murder of a Chinese woman, Leung-So, at Wanchai on May roth, 1902.

i

The Attorney General, Sir H. S. Berkeley, (instructed by Mr. H. Hursthouse) prosecuted, while accused were represented by Mr. W. M. Slade.

Prisoners pleaded not guilty, and the follow- ing jury was sworn :-Messrs, P. Plage, W. F. Bassford, T. C. Downing, J. O. E. Meyer, E. V. D. Parr, B. Christiansen, and E. W. Terry.

The Attorney General said that the murdered woman was the concubine of Tsang Mook The case for the Crown was that the prisoners murdered the woman at the request of and after payment by her husband. The husband was nos in custody as he had departed from the Colony and was now beyond the reach of the law, and the prisoners stood to answer for what they had done at his suggestion. The facts were that on May 10th, 1902, Mr. White, who lived in Wanchai, was disturbed by hearing sounds of quarrelling and later on piercing shrieks and screams rang out. He went outside and found a woman lying on the side of the road, with a large wound in her abdomen. Almost imme. diately after, or a little before he arrived there, Chloaman, Ip Sung, came up, and a state- ment, Ip Sung alleges, was made by the woman That statement would be put in,as evidence, if permissible. For some time the matter re mained a mystery, and although inquired into by the police, no clue could be found as to who it was that killed the woman. The woman died on the day following the one on which she was found lying wounded. From May until last October no one was charged with being implt cated in the outrage, but between those months the police had been investigating and ultimate- ly, from information received, they were, he beheved, enabled to sheet the crime home to the men in dock. One witness would be called, whose evidence, if believed, would convict the two men. The prosecution said that the wo❘ man's husband wished to get rid of her and

employed the two prisoners to kill the woman,

and so do what he was afraid to do. The ar- rangement was kept absolutely quiet and it was only because later on there was a split between

J, Basto, Junior, the Honorary Sécretary of the Charity Fête, now organising in the Portuguese colony.

INSTITUTION UNDER THE CANOSSIAM BISTERS,

Our procession is again en route, this time to visit the different institutions under the care of the Canossian Sisters. We first came to the Benevolent Home, founded in 1877, where Portuguese and Chinese girls, of poor parents, are received and educated. Some of them are taught a trade, others go into orders, and aga E, thers are sent into the missions in the interior

THE HOLY INFANCY. This establishment is similar in its object to the French Convent in Hongkong. It was opened in 1885 and, since its inauguration, over 10,300 abandoned infants have been taken in. It includes an asylum for the aged and blind and a retreat for reformed Magdelenes. It would take too much of our space to dwell that the kind, motherly attention bestowed by upon the good wolk done here, suffice to say

the good sisters on the hundreds of abandoned, suffering litsic humans is altogether beyond praise. A visit must be paid to the institution to fully realise the splendid self-abnegation of the devoted women who toil and strive to alle viate the misery and pain of the children of the Chinese poor.

On an adjoining tonals-court, a photograph was then taken of a group, composed of His Lordship the Bishop surrounded by the mem- bers of the Council, the pressman and guests unter which all present proceeded, under the direction of the kindly Prelate, to visit several of the convents, schools and charitable institu tons of the City.

THROUGH OLD MAÇAO.

Up hill and down-hrough narrow, stone- paved streets lined with tall, silent houses, whose barred and recessed windows show walls several feet in thickness, and whose gaily painted façades of the Lusso-Moorish style, pillared portals, ornamented with stucco. work, remind one of Lisbon or Corunna-op

The expenditure for the quarter was $4.493.91, and the receipts $3.255.75, leaving a deficit of $1,238 16, it is to clear this deficit that a fére and bazaar are to be given in the Public Gardens at Macao, on the 26th and 27th inst. A good entertainment will be provided, and charitably disposed persons from Hongkong can be assured of passing an enjoyable holiday in the city of Camoes. It was late in the evening when the inspection terminated and the excellent Prelate bade good-bye to the guests he had so courteously and untiringly piloted; and it was not without emotion that each in turn expressed his thanks and humble appreciation of His Lordship's untiring zeal in the beautiful. work of mercy he has so nobly undertaken.

Monsignor Paulino d'Azevedo e Castro is comparatively young and his features bear the unmistakable. stamp of energy and de termination: therefore the poor and suffering members of his flock can look forward, with

security and well-being under the benevolent real happiness, to many years of spiritual

care of this kindly and generous prelate.
